How to Use CSV Descriptive Statistics

Upload or paste a CSV file to get N, missing values, mean, SD, SE, median, quartiles, min and max for every numeric column, plus category counts.

About this tool

Summary statistics for every column in a CSV file: N, missing, mean, SD and more.

How to use CSV Descriptive Statistics

  1. Upload a CSV or TSV file, or paste data copied from Excel.
  2. Say whether the first row holds the column names.
  3. Read the summary table and download it as CSV.

Worked example

For a 16-row clinical dataset, the glucose column shows 15 values, 1 missing, mean 126.4 and a median of 102, a gap that hints at an outlier.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read and summarized entirely in your browser.

How are text columns handled?

Columns that are mostly non-numeric are listed separately with the number of distinct values and the most common ones.
